Selfridges Birmingham ‘Work It’ campaign

Hi Everyone!

I was lucky enough to be invited to the launch of the Selfridges Birmingham ‘Work It’ campaign. I had a lovely time meeting & shopping with some other local bloggers, including Sarah from andbeautyorsomething, Vanessa from theothervw & Ting from thetingthing.

In this post, I wanted to share all the fantastic events, workshops & express services available at the Selfridges Birmingham until the middle of June. The idea behind the campaign is that all the exciting experiences fit in & around work - hence ‘Work it’. Everything available either fits into a lunchtime or is something you can drop in for after a day at work. Let’s start with the events, which I am really excited about!

EVENTS

Tuesday 12 May, 6:30-8pm

Meet Vivianna Does Makeup

Drop in to meet Anna from Vivianna Does Makeup as she talks about working as a full-time blogger & YouTuber as well as the beauty tools she wouldn’t be without.
